About us

The Jet Set Gazette is all about living a life of luxury, regardless of how much money you have or where you come from. Being a Jet Setter quite simply involves refusing to live an unfulfilling life and making the most of the rich array of activities London has to offer. Welcome to the Jet Set Gazette.

Every Friday evening I am in no mood to cook. Exhausted, ravenous and ready to let off some steam, I was delighted to find an elegantly simple Italian restaurant hidden behind the noise and bustle King’s Rd on Elystan St – Elistano...

We love Otto Originals belts so much that we're offering a discount to all our loyal readers!

If you've left it a little bit late or have managed to bag yourself a date today ... Have no fear. London has plenty of great restaurants with a strictly no booking policy. This may mean that there are long queues of disorganised lovers on Thursday night, but it also means that a delightfully romantic evening is still possible to attain...

Shrove Tuesday marks the start of Lent and 6 weeks of frustrating sacrifice. As well as being a religious date on which people across the globe promise to stop eating unhealthily, it is also when the same people stuff their faces with calorific pancakes...

They say that oysters are an aphrodisiac, so is there really any place better to go than an Oyster Bar on Valentine’s Day? Bibendum, in South Kensington, is famed for its spacious and surprisingly unpretentious Oyster Bar...

Sex At Oxbridge is an anonymous blog written by a female Oxbridge student...

Our third suggestion is Bunga Bunga, the famous Italian Karaoke bar in Battersea. This year, Bunga Bunga will be celebrating Valentine’s Day twice...

JESUS CHRIST. My new favourite word. It was my New Years resolution to blaspheme more. Partly because I'm an atheist and partly because blasphemous phrases have such a solid punch to them. You can't argue with them. That's why they are the Kings and Queens of exclamations. I evenheard a bloke with a priest's collar on swear when he got grabbed in the tube door. Whats going on?

Our second suggestion is Hony Tonk, in Chelsea. For those of you that are bored of the mushy, lovey-dovey Valentine’s routine, this New-York inspired restaurant is bringing something much edgier to the equation.

Paris may be the ‘City of Love’ … but this February, London is for lovers. In the build-up to Valentine’s Day, we’ll suggest some creative ideas for what you can do on 14th February. First up, we suggest venturing to the depths of North West London. Situated in the heart of Camden, Shaka Zulu, the neighbour of the highly popular Gilgamesh, will be treating guests to a 5 course meal fit for (Zulu) kings...

Josh Zietcer interviews Diego Bivero-Volpe, a partner at Bodo's Schloss and The Brompton, cast member of Made in Chelsea and Jet Set Gazette ambassador, on business, being on TV and life in London.

Boys and girls, gather round! It’s story time. Once upon a time, in a land called Chelsea, there was a building called 107 Kings Road. Now, 107 Kings Road looked just like any other building on the street … but this building was different. This building was cursed

At first there was a Mamilanji Club, the high-end members club and restaurant with an R&B twist. Closed. Then there was Tuatara. Closed. Kings Club arrived on the scene. Closed. Now, on 31st January 2013, the grand opening of Upper West, a Manhattan-inspired nightclub, has arrived...

With rotisserie chicken making its way across the London gastro circle, Clockjack Oven is a newaddition to the growing chicken scene in the city. Inspired by Tudor cooking, as represented by thename, founders Jerry Goldberg and Fraser Duncan have meticulously researched cooking methods and sourced a rotisserie that is one of its kind in the country.

Between 1920 and 1933, there was a national ban in the United States on the sale, manufacture, and transportation of alcohol. The jet-setting party-goers of the 1920s were facing a crisis; how could they engage in frivolous debauchery?

Every time it snows in London, a great debate arises; do we like the snow, or not?

Whilst the more sensible, logical Londoners would argue that the snow simply messes things up, the more carefree and young at heart amongst us will be building snowmen, Instagramming the Narnia-esque landscapes and searching for the perfect spot to enjoy a hot chocolate in the snow.

It’s that time of year again when that awful cliché ‘New Year, New You’ stares at you like the eyes of divinity from all surfaces of advertising. Part of this always involves some form of fitness overdrive, Special K discounts and ‘3 for 2’s on Marks and Spencer ‘Count on Us’ ready meals if you’re willing to overlook the irony of eating microwaved food for health purposes.

Everest, synonymous with global adventure, exploration and danger. A place only few dare to venture and even fewer return. This is the kind of reaction I receive, reliving my trials to anyone who'll listen, or those who've no choice but to listen. In reality, the most enduring events of my trip were being a bit out of breath, working our way around a village that had been washed down a mountain and the mistake of smoking a cigar at 18,000ft...

Quote of the week: "So if you ever find yourself with the New Years Blues, thinking, "here we go again, another year closer to erectile dysfunction", then think again. "

Here we are, the big 2013. Is there any way it can possibly live up to the Britfest that was 2012? I believe so, for one reason and one reason only. I got both socks and underpants for Christmas.

Yes, that’s right people, Calvin Kleins and Paul Smiths. It does not get any better than that; the ultimate present, an über gift for men and women alike; functional, in demand and stylish. It temporarily cured any pure hatred of the family after spending a week all together.
